Increased Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Risk in Individuals with Low AMY1 Copy Numbers

Increased Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Risk in Individuals with Low AMY1 Copy Numbers

Lower copy number variations (CNVs) in the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) have been associated with obesity and insulin resistance; however, the relationship between AMY1 and cardiometabolic risk has not been fully elucidated. Using gold-standard measures, we aimed to examine whether AMY1 CNVs are ass...
